GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

"I always knew my grandmother's buttermilk pancakes were special," says Christopher Hirsheimer. "I loved them, and I loved to help her in the kitchen. My first job was to separate the eggs for her. Then I'd whip up the whites into thick, billowy mounds. Finally, she would start heating the griddle and would test it by flicking water on it, and when little beads danced across the hot metal, it was time to begin. Standing at her post at the stove, she flipped batch after batch until our big hungry family was fed."

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs, separated
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more butter for serving
1 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
  • Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).

These are the most Wonderful Pancakes. My kids love them, as did I as a child. This makes a large batch, but that may be the best part. Just put the batter in the fridge, and it will keep for 2 - 3 days. Whip them up in a moments notice for the whole family on a busy weekday morning. They will love you for it, trust me! Enjoy......

Time 30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups buttermilk, or more as needed
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.
  • Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking will help the gluten to relax, which will make your pancakes even more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles are forming on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These buttermilk pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast classic. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of fluffy, golden pancakes that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying breakfast, give these buttermilk pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
